This is a typical water city in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are three rivers in the urban area, which flow to the sea after confluence, and have the beautiful scenery of the confluence of the three rivers.

There are more inland rivers that branch out and spread to every corner of the city.

Until the reform and opening up, river transportation was still the first choice for people to visit relatives and friends.

It was not until 1998 that the last river liner ceased operation.

Many rivers in the city have also been reclaimed and converted into roads. Therefore, the roads in the city are often tortuous, unlike in the cities of the north, where the roads are wide and straight.

The Nantang River is one of the few rivers that runs through the city without being landfilled.

It's just that now even cargo ships are not sailing in Hanoi.

Today, a small boat broke the rare calm of the river and creaked over.

Wang Lu's family of three sat on the boat.

This is a swan-shaped cruise ship that is common in domestic parks, with the bow of the swan's neck in front and the body in the back of the boat in the middle of the air, with an awning on it and a chain pedal power.

Wang Lu Youzai was stepping on the water, and behind him, Wang Bi'an and Chen Wei were sitting together, pointing outward.

"Dad, look, there's a zombie upstairs." Wang Bian shouted.

Wang Lu glanced at it indifferently, and nodded in response to the errand: "See, behind the window." ”

There was no fuss about it, and along the way, several zombies had already been seen in the nearby residential area.

In some communities, there are green belts along the river, and there are zombies chasing the pleasure boat until they hit the wall of the community.

If you see too much, you will have "aesthetic" fatigue.

No matter how smelly and ugly the zombie is, I don't bother to take a look.

So far, no zombie has ever jumped into the water.

Zombies are really afraid of water.

Chen Wei suddenly shouted in a low voice: "I crossed the bridge in front." ”

In front is the Nantang River antique block, and at the front of the block, there is a stone bridge.

Wang Lu had already seen that several zombies were standing on the bridge deck and were roaring at the boat.

Wang Lu grabbed the rudder of the ship and sped up.

The boat passed under the bridge.

The zombies on the bridge deck are like children who like to stand on the bridge and watch the boat, running from one side to the other side with the boat. It's just that children like to wave at boats, and zombies roar and scratch in the air.

Wang Lu turned his head: "It's okay, this way, I don't know how many bridges I passed, which zombie jumped off the bridge?" ”

Chen Wei is still nervous, there are many zombies lurking on both sides of the river, in contrast, the family of three on the boat is so lonely, in case which zombie evolves smarter and jumps from the shore, even if he doesn't jump onto the boat and overturns the boat, the family will also be doomed.

The swimming level of a family of three is just bubbles in the pool.

Wang Lu glanced back at Chen Wei: "It's okay, I'll be at Wanghu Market soon." ”

It is indeed very fast, from the Nantang River antique block to the Wanghu Market, just two bus stops, although the boat is slower than the car, but the river is on the inside, and the distance is shorter.

After crossing a railway bridge, I saw the billboard of Wanghu Market in the distance.

The river here is deep, and the boats seem to travel between two high walls.

You can't see the street above.

Wang Lu found a river port and slowly approached the bank.

He gestured, let Chen Wei sit in the driver's seat, and made a silent gesture at Wang Bi'an.

Both of them understood what Wang Lu meant, and Wang Bian covered his mouth with his hand.

Wang Lufu lowered his body and quietly touched the stone steps at the head of the river port.

Chen Wei looked at Wang Lu's back, and saw that when he climbed to the top few stone steps, he raised his head slightly, quickly glanced at the street, and immediately retracted his head.

After a while, Wang Lu bent down and ran back again.

"There are zombies." Wang Lu swallowed, "There are several." ”

Seeing that Chen Wei's face was a little pale, Wang Lu comforted: "I've seen the children's park in the center of Moon Lake Park, and the suspension bridge is closed." ”

"What?" Chen Wei didn't understand the meaning of Wang Lu's words.

"The suspension bridge on the island in the middle of the lake was closed, and it was not put down." Wang Lu was a little excited, "It must be that when Resident Evil broke out, the staff hadn't gone to work yet, so the suspension bridge wasn't lowered." That's great, it means there's definitely no zombies on the island. I was worried that zombies would scurry around the island and we'd have to kill them. ”

Chen Wei's face turned a little paler: "You can't guarantee that there are no zombies on the island beforehand?" Y-Why are you so careless? It's a shame that you're talking about it when you make a plan at home. ”,

Wang Lu was a little embarrassed: "It's not nothing, everything is going well." ”

Chen Wei endured it, knowing that now was not the time to quarrel, so she lowered her voice and said, "The drawbridge hasn't been lowered, so how can we get to the island now?" ”

The suspension bridge was mechanically retracted and lowered, and there was a special control room, but Wang Lu didn't plan to find the key to the control room.

This is not a game, if you blow up a zombie, you can randomly drop a treasure chest key.

However, this is not a problem for Wang Lu.

Wang Lu gestured: "Don't worry. Remember the Moon Lake Park, which is next to Wanghu Market, where there is a place to rent a boat? We rowed to the island. ”

Chen Wei thought about it for a while, and also recalled that there are many cruise ships in Moon Lake Park, some are electric, and some can sit for 7 or 8 people to paddle.

Chen Wei was a little relieved and asked Wang Lu: "What about the zombies on the road?" ”

Wang Lu pointed to a river port more than 100 meters away in front: "See, from this river port to the shore, from the Moon Lake Park cruise ship dock is the closest, almost across the four-lane Gongqing Road in a straight line, and there is no fence in the middle of Gongqing Road, it is very convenient to run over." ”

"I'll stay, you take Wang Bian to the river port in front, and later, I will attract these zombies to leave, and you and Wang Bian will take the opportunity to rush over."

Chen Wei grabbed Wang Lu's hand: "Then why did you come over?" ”

Wang Lu smiled reluctantly: "I will run around the Wanghu Market, from the path behind the market to the Moon Lake, you and Wang Bian get a boat from the cruise ship, and then pick me up at the shore of the lake over there." ”

Chen Wei's tears burst out: "What if there are zombies in the path behind the market?" ”

Wang Lu smiled: "My luck has always been good." ”

Chen Wei was already so anxious that she couldn't speak, Wang Lu patted her hand: "We can't stay on the boat all the time, if it gets dark, it's even more dangerous." ”

There's no way around it.

The family has come to this point, and there is no way back. Forward, there is still a chance, and backward, is a cliff.

Wang Lu went ashore and waved his hand, Chen Wei gently stepped on the pedal, and the boat slowly moved forward.

Seeing the mother and son leaning on the bank of the river port in front of them, they tiptoed up the river port and quietly climbed a few steps along the stone steps to get as close to the street as possible.

Wang Lu took a deep breath, took out a multi-functional folding knife, slashed a shallow knife on the palm of his hand, and clenched his fist hard until the blood beads dripped from the palm of his hand, and then, he quickly rushed onto the road, raised his bloody palm at the zombie, and yelled hard: "You rags, come and bite me!" ”

It didn't need Wang Lu's loud invitation, and the more than 10 zombies who had been hobbling in front of Wanghu Market had already noticed this piece of fatty fresh meat that smelled of blood, and they scrambled to pounce.

Wang Lu screamed and jumped until he saw that the zombie farthest away from him had also chased after him, and then turned and fled.

Almost at the same time, Chen Wei ran up to the street from the stone steps at the head of the river port with Wang Bi'an in one hand and a travel bag in the other, and rushed straight to the Moon Lake cruise ship without looking back.

None of the zombies paid attention to the mother and son.

Because the fat in front of it, the smell of fresh blood exuded was so tempting.

Chen Wei quickly rushed to the cruise ship, the iron fence more than one person high was tightly closed, Chen Wei did not hesitate, shook his hand, threw the travel bag over, then squatted down and bent his knees, and said to Wang Bi'an hurriedly: "Quick, climb over." ”

Wang Bi'an cleverly stepped on Chen Wei's knees, climbed the top of the fence with both hands, and flipped to the top of the fence with both arms.

Chen Wei stood up, stood on tiptoe, climbed the lattice of the fence with one hand, and stretched out to Wang Bi'an with the other hand, Wang Bi'an clamped the fence with both legs, held Chen Wei's hand with both hands, and the two of them worked hard together, and Chen Wei quickly climbed over the fence.

The mother and son ran onto the floating dock, and Chen Wei shouted: "Go get the oars, don't look for an electric boat." ”

Wang Bi'an ran fast, dragged two oars from the pile of debris where life jackets, batteries, and oars were kept, and ran to the side of the boat.

The two found the nearest wooden boat and hurriedly pedaled up, Chen Wei didn't care that the boat was still shaking, hurriedly untied the cable, put down the oars and rowed, and urged Wang Bi'an in his mouth: "Row quickly, row quickly, go pick up your father." ”

From the cruise ship pier, row to the lake facing the alley behind the Wanghu Market, which is only a few dozen meters away.

But Chen Wei hasn't rowed an oar for a long time, and used to play with electric boats.

Plus Wang Bian was helping in the bow of the boat—a disservice.

The boat spun around in the lake.

Chen Wei screamed: "Left to left, stop, don't row, wait for me to set the direction, don't move, don't move, the boat is going to capsize!" ”

Chen Wei was anxious and angry, tears bursting out of her eyes.

Wang Bi'an suddenly stood up and pointed to the opposite lakeshore: "Dad, it's Dad!" ”

Sun Wei saw Wang Lu rushing wildly, and across the lake, he seemed to be able to hear his panting like a cow with his mouth wide open.

Behind him, a string of zombies followed, the nearest one, whose arm was almost touching Wang Lu's vest.

Wang Lu saw the cruise ship that was still far away from him at a glance, closed his eyes, jumped into the air, and jumped into the Moon Lake.
